Abstract

We have investigated the charge dynamics of the correlated Dirac semimetallic perovskite ${\mathrm{CaIrO}}_{3}$ by infrared spectroscopy. The optical conductivity spectra show the $\ensuremath{\omega}$-linear-type interband transition and a tiny Drude response at low temperatures, suggesting that the Dirac node is pinned near the Fermi energy due to the Mott criticality. Moreover, a large polaron absorption appears at around 0.04 eV, when thermally excited carriers diminish and the plasma frequency decreases below the optical phonon energy. The electron correlation and resultant reduced plasma frequency are likely to enhance the electron-phonon interaction via the insufficient electronic screening, realizing the Dirac polaron.
